Prospective Students

Application Process

To be considered for fall enrollment, the student and family are highly encouraged
to submit all application materials by the application deadline. Potential students
are encouraged to begin the admission process as early as possible. Enrollment for
spring semester is limited and decisions regarding incoming transfer students entering
in spring will be made on a case-by-case basis.

When all application materials for a student are received, a student's application
packet will be reviewed by the Mosaic Advisory Committee. If the student is a possible
candidate, the family will be invited to campus for a visit. This visit allows both
parties to evaluate the fit of the student and the program. During this visit, potential
students will be informed about the level of expectations at the college level, the
support provided by Mosaic, and the commitment expected by student and family members.

Students are admitted into Mosaic on an ongoing basis, but space is limited. An evaluation
of an individual’s overall abilities and interests determines if there is a good match
between student and program. Once admission decisions have been made, families will
be notified by letter. Due to the limited space in the program, some eligible students
may not be admitted.

An application to Mosaic is considered “complete” and will be accepted only if it
includes:

A psychological evaluation showing an autism spectrum diagnosis;

High school transcripts/grades

For students who have previous college experience: an unofficial transcript from that institution, or other documents that detail classes taken and
grades earned.
